Selected Reviews:
BroadwayBaby review (3 stars): "an interesting piece of speculative theatre that is fresh enough to help us think about women in Shakespeare’s plays in a new light." http://broadwaybaby.com/shows/the-female-question/713828
Edinburgh Spotlight review (3 stars): "positive in its engagement of students with examining Shakespeare’s works and female characters. It is a play directed with some fine attention to movement and comedy, and it is performed with dedication and energy." http://www.edinburghspotlight.com/2016/08/fringe-review-the-female-question
The Scotsman review (2 stars): "In The Female Question, a Hull University groupportray a young Shakespeare convinced he can’t write women, and setting out to interview his own female characters on why this is; he’s also a bit like a doctor, behind his desk, but the acting and the lines don’t gel."
